[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think DADT used to just be called "marriage." Then a strange team of liberal and conservative morality police got involved and made everyone's marriage worse.[/quote]

I also agree with this. It seems like the one thing liberals and conservatives agree on is that marriage is about sustaining the last scene in a rom-com for 30 years, and if that seems unrealistic well you just need to "work on it." [b]People used to be more worldly about the fact that passion fades and resentments pile up.[/b][/quote]

To be fair, throughout history the arrangement was one-sided: only men were allowed to have dalliances outside their marriage. A married woman cheating in the late 1800s? She would become a social outcast, often with her kids in tow, and fall into abject poverty and be subject to street violence.

I do think it's interesting that pretty much every sizable American city previously had a red light district up until 1915. It was tolerated by society, police, the politicians, and religious institutions for the first couple hundred years of the colonies and the United States.[/quote]

PP - sure, but a better solution would have been to give everyone the freedom that only men had, rather than to subject everyone to the constraints that only women had. [/quote]
